Thank you Lorelle that is very good feedback. I am not sure what is protocol here but I suggest we move this to the Talk page:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Talk:WordPress_Quick_Start_Guide#THank_you_Lorell e_that_was_very_good_feedback But am sending one last email to the list as follows: Thanks Lorelle that was great. I can work with all that, such as the optin requirement, let me reflect. Since you are so frank with me allow me to reciprocate. One difficulty of the Codex system of maintaining documentation is that authors come and go and they are quite busy under the best of circumstances. Your current documentation hasn't changed much in 3 years and it's really extremely brief and lacking guided tutorials and screen shots, quite aside from the neutrality requirements that are something of a necessary evil (they make the job of providing practical information more difficult). (As an aside I noticed a Bluehost hosting link in the Guide). I spend a large chunk of my time writing WordPress documentation and researching / reviewing commercial WordPress products. I am seeking a way to contribute this work to the Codex in some fashion, and I am unable to see clearly right now what that would be, but the benefits seem compelling to all. In any case I appreciate the feedback and will continue to reflect Also in the spirit of honest disclosure, my interest in Code Poet etc would be stronger if my primary goal was to promote my services. I already run large sold-out webinars through affiliates and finding students is not an issue. Of course promoting my services is part of my objective but I am also a writer by trade and I take pleasure in my craft for its own sake. I hope that makes sense.
